Lyda was born Nov. 8, 1926, in Greenville, to Wade R. and Frances B. Rawson Horton.

She was married to W.H. “Dub” Henry, Jr. in December of 1943, and after his death in December 1957, she married Frank M. Ayers in April of 1960, who also precedes her in death. Lyda had a long and wonderful career as a homemaker and was a dedicated, loving mother and friend. She was very talented in many ways. Her artistic abilities came to light in everything she pursued. She was an avid gardener and artist. Her appreciation for Jehovah’s creation was reflected in her paintings. She will always be remembered by those who knew and loved her. We can be comforted in knowing that she will remain in God’s memory and be reunited with her friends and loved ones in paradise.
